I have met John Bennett and have found him to be very friendly and helpful. I personally know that he has gained the respect of at least a few successful J2EE authors in my community. I also know he is a very busy person who is constantly traveling to meet with customers around the country in addition to working closely with his colleagues.
The only thing that I can possibly even begin to imagine that would be the source of your malcontent may be culturally related. John is from the east coast and the culture of the east coast leans toward being short and to the point. I know this cultural mannerism can sometimes be frustrating for people who haven't spent time on the east coast. However, busy people working in the commercial market throughout the US can be short when communicating. As a busy person, I appreciate working with people who understand what I am saying before I finish my sentence and can respond succinctly. I have found that even when John was quick and to the point, he was not short with me and he still was very courteous. My feedback is just one persons point of view and I know that since I was not present in the meeting that I cannot necessarily say exactly what happened, but I hope this may help bring some perspective to the situation. More importantly, I hope this feedback can be helpful to those on the list who work with a wide variety of people on a daily basis.
